I am a U.S. Army veteran with over ten years of experience managing contracts supporting various federal government clients. I am PMP certified with a focus on process implementation, risk mitigation, and project communication. I have successfully led both large and small project teams in pursuit of contract goals with one eye always focused on client satisfaction. In addition to the PMI process model, I am also well versed in iterative, incremental, agile, and scrum development schemes. I have effectively tailored and successfully implemented each of these models according to customer demands and contract constraints. I have advanced training in process management as it pertains to software development and testing. Over the past fifteen years, I have supported signals, all-source, open source, and cyber operations and worked as a mechanical engineering designer and CAD technician. I am proficient with information systems and programs including classified networks and databases, wireless and intra-office networking, internet infrastructure and protocols, schedule and budgeting software, software development and testing, and the entire package of Microsoft software (Office, Project, Access, and SharePoint).Supervising a contract team involves learning each team member's responsibilities, communicating my expectations to each employee, and then following up with each employee to ensure he is performing to the contract standards.
